I have built a 72" longbow, whick measures 70" nock to nock. What size string do I need to order? Thank you.

You always want your bow string 4-3 inches shorter than the size of your recurve or long bow
7177
I also had a longbow and used a string 4 inches shorter than the nock to nock meas.I was not concerned with the tension weight, only the look. Hope this helps
7178
My bow is 58.25" nock to nock and I use a 55.5" string. I imagine that you would use a 67" string.

I also had a long bow and string length of 4 inches shorter seemed to work.I was not concerned with the string tension. Hope this helps

long bow string lengths are supposed to be at least 3" shorter than bow length nock-nock. you can go 2.5" or up to 4" but these lengths will affect you your brace height and string tension. if you want higher brace go with 4" shorter and more strands than your draw weight needs. personally i'd say never go for a lower brace than what you get at 3" shorter string though. too much wrist slap.

Look up stringing a horsebow on yt. I use the step over method. It's hard as hell to string. You better be 1 strong mofo lol.

I'm not sure if the 28" fiberglass arrows would be good for a long bow. My knowledge of archery equipment is very limited. I sent those arrows to my son who is shooting them with an old 35 pound fiberglass bow. I think the bow is a cross between a re curve and a long bow. I wouldn't use them with a heavier bow because they are a low velocity arrow for low draw weight bows. A guy I work with, who knows about these things, said if you used those arrows with a compound bow with a 60# draw they would shatter while going through the arrow guide and possibly cause an injury. My son says they work good with his bow but could be a couple inches longer. I'm not sure if the 28" fiberglass arrows would be good for a long bow. My knowledge of archery equipment is very limited.

I hope this helps... I bought the 6 - Pk. Easton Genesis II Arrows. They are 30" long not including nok and point.

They should be fine ... not an expert... seems like nocks would be compatible with all bow strings.... shaft will crack and splinter into stringy fiber spaghetti if you try to remove imbedded arrows from solid materials (tree stump) if you have a soft target get these ... economical i thought... they do seem to fly true although i have not tested them long range. Pretty wicked looking arrows

These arrows are about 28 inches from the nock to the arrow head, so you're draw length is more of a determining factor. The shafts seem kind of light so I wouldn't use them with a heavy draw weight. Some people have complained about the shafts being warped, and some of mine are but hey...primitive arrows. If I'm going to hunt I'm going to get some carbon arrows and sharp broad heads, but I might use these on small game. Overall they are a nice product and look really good.

definitely work on a recurve crossbow' s string. My husband added them to his recurve bow and I have them for mine. He shoots more than I do and he hasn't commented on the speed of his arrows changing at all since he added the beaver balls to his bow string.

I purchased some of these last year and I am very pleased with the quality, the 28" length is more suitable for larger (62") version of your bow. If these are being purchased for the smaller (54") bow, you may wish to search for 26" arrows.

Yes to first 2 questions. The length should be adjustable to your range. Check with your State as to the minimum draw for hunting with a bow. Florida requires 35 pound draw.

Well first they are called bolts. They are stronger than arrows and do not have a regular nock. I shoot 18" or 20" . Got deer with 20" bolt with small fixed broadhead last year at 40yd. very little drop and passed right through.

Hey Dylan, That bow is probable gonna be way to easy for you to draw...and too small also. A fellow your size (as I am also) Should be drawing around 30 to 31 inches in draw length....and at least 50 lbs draw weight....I prefer the solocam bow types...the ones with one eccentric cam pulley and one very round pulley...these are very stable bows and tend to stay in tune better than the twin eccentric cam bows do... Just about any brand name would work fine...Matthews, Hoyt, Browning, PSE, Bear. This little bow isnt exactly a toy but feels like one in my hand. I would recommend a Matthews solocam bow for you.

Depends on what their draw it you will need to go to sportmans wharehouse or some place that has bows for sale and get his draw measured they will then st the bow to match hope this helps

AMO string length of 62" is a true length of 58". A measurement of string notch to string notch in an unstrung bow will give you a "pretty dang close" number to start with if you have no AMO lenght listed. 4" actual length shorter than AMO length is good fog recurve, longbow is around 3" less. Base height may be listed as well ( distance from string to deepest recess in grip while strung ) will help dial it in.

I am probably not going to be much help here. The size I believe goes with the size of the arrow shaft. I bought this item for my wife and I just made a guess at which one she needed. I went with medium. I know trophy ridge has a website with size you would need for the arrows you use. Again I know that wasn't much help, sorry.

I took mine to Gander Mountain, they are 40" strings, can probably get it done at any Bow Outfitter as well.

The 14-strand bowstring is 64-inch (model#7395) .... mounting on one arm and twisting the string before mounting on the other end will shorten the string to add a few pounds pressure. I do not recall where I found out the right length for my bow.
